Earlier this week, future first-ballot hall-of-famer (and noted Toronto Maple Leafs killer) Patrice Bergeron announced his retirement from the NHL.
Bergeron was best known for being the best defensive forward of his generation, his leadership, his off-ice work, and breaking the hearts of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It is well known the Leafs and Bruins have one of the best rivalries in the NHL, and that was on full display in the 2010s, when the teams played each other in 3 best-of-seven series, with Boston coming out on top in all 3.
Patrice Bergeron was an extremely consistent player in his years, including scoring 20+ goals in each of the last 10 seasons.
